The answer

Among the books written about the merits of Islamic law and the flaws of man-made laws are: "Mahasin al-Shari'ah wa Masawi' al-Qawanin al-Wad'iyyah" (The Merits of Islamic Law and the Flaws of Man-Made Laws) by Sheikh Atiyah bin Muhammad Salim, and the introductions to "Al-Tashri' al-Jina'i al-Islami Muqarana bil-Qanun al-Wad'i" (Islamic Criminal Legislation Compared to Man-Made Law) by Dr. Abd al-Qadir Awda. There is also a lecture by Sheikh Abd al-Rahim al-Tahhan titled "Shari'ah Rabbaniyah wa Qawanin Wad'iyah" (Divine Law and Man-Made Laws) that can be consulted. Furthermore, no. 128948 can be reviewed for more books authored on the merits of Islamic law.
